~Sharpie (I used this to color the matte in my frame.. It was maroon and I knew it wouldn't go with the color choice of the frame and the sign itself... So it was kind of a cheap way to transform your matting.)

Steps:

1.) If you do not like the way your frame looks, repaint it!

This is what my frame looked like BEFORE:

(I forgot to take a before pic of the one I used, but this one is the same but different matting color and picture)

This is what I did:

-Skipped the priming.

-Painted it in Sherwin Williams

-Distressed it by glazing it in Behr's.

2.) I went to pinterest and found a 'family rules' artwork that I wanted to use.. This is what I found:

I used pretty much all the same quotes, but placed them in different order ..

3.) Go to picnik.com and go to 'collage' and write each 'quote' in whatever font and color you like!

Save them to your documents.

4.) Print them like so:

(I trimmed mine down.. cutting wave-like lines on some of them)

I taped a strip of scrap paper to a piece of computer paper.

5.) Place them on your backing of your picture frame and Mod Podge them in place!!
